College Football Nation: 2011 Non-AQ Games To Watch

I listed my three non-AQ games to watch as part of my spring wrap, and included TCU at Boise State. Earlier Wednesday I listed my out-of-conference, non-AQ games to watch for 2011. Now here is my list of the top conference games to watch for 2011:

TCU at San Diego State, Oct. 8

Buzz: The Aztecs came oh-so-close to pulling the upset in Fort Worth last season, and now they get TCU at home. The Horned Frogs are going to be good again on defense, but there are questions on offense. The Aztecs have questions at receiver, too.It will be interesting to see how this team looks with a new coaching staff as well.

UCF at SMU, Oct. 13

Buzz: A rematch of the U.S. championship game last season C, only it takes place in Dallas. Both teams will be in the mix to return to the championship game, then it could have an impact on the league race.

Air Force Boise State, October 22

Buzz: There are some who believe the Falcons could be a dark-horse contender in the Mountain West, and they get a chance to prove their worth in this tough conference game. Meanwhile, Boise State gets its first crack at the difficult triple-option offense led by senior Tim Jefferson .

Fresno State at Nevada, Oct. 22

Buzz: This one could impact the race for the WAC title. Both will have new starting quarterbacks and don't have Boise State in the way anymore, either.

Troy at FIU, Oct. 25

Buzz: FIU smacked Troy 52-35 last season but they both ended up sharing the conference title. Both will be favored to finish atop the Sun Belt once again, making this a pivotal game.

Tulsa at UCF, Nov. 3

Buzz: This one could be a preview of the C-USA title game. Tulsa has plenty of returning starters, while UCF has some holes to fill on offense and at receiver.

Miami (Ohio) at Temple, Nov. 9

Buzz: Both teams are going to be favored to be at the top of the East, so this one could have implications on who goes to the conference title game. The RedHawks pulled the upset at home last year en route to the conference title game.

Hawaii at Nevada, Nov.

Tulsa Names Terrence Rencher to Basketball Coaching Staff ...

Tulsa, Oklahoma - University of Tulsa Head Basketball Coach Doug Wojcik announced today the appointment of former University of Texas standout guard Terrence Rencher as an assistant coach for the Golden Hurricane.

Rencher replaces Andy Kohut , who has left the University to pursue other interests. Kohut spent six seasons on the Tulsa basketball staff, including the first four as director of basketball operations and the last two as a full-time assistant coach.

Rencher has spent the last two seasons as an assistant coach at Texas State University, helping the Bobcats compiled 31 wins and 19 overall victories in the Southland Conference. The State of Texas posted a 16-16 record last season with a mark of 10-6 in the league. During the 2009-10 season, TSU posted a 15-16 overall mark and 9-7 conference record.

"I first met Terrence, so we were both recruitment and was incredibly impressed by him. He brings a lot to the table of our basketball program. It was a great player who has played professional basketball for many years and sacrificed to become a coach, "Wojcik said.

"Terrance has a wealth of experience -- having been a highly-recruited player, making a college decision, having an exceptional college career, the excitement of being an NBA draft pick, playing in the NBA and then transitioning to playing in Europe. All of those are wonderful experiences that he will bring to our basketball program. He will be a tremendous role model for all of our players and a great teacher and sounding board particularly for our perimeter players," added Wojcik.

Rencher came to Texas State after serving as a graduate assistant coach at Saint Louis under Rick Majerus in the 2008-09 season. Before that, he was the head coach and basketball program director for the boy's varsity team at Regents School of Austin in 2007-08. In addition to his coaching duties, Rencher served as an academic mentor for the University of Texas men's basketball team from 2006-08.

"I'm looking forward to this opportunity at The University of Tulsa," said Rencher. "It's bittersweet emotionally. I'm excited about the possibilities that lie ahead at Tulsa, but at the same time it's hard to leave the people that you've grown to care about. That's the nature of the business. There are times that you have to move on for better or worse, and right now it's for the better. My family and I are really excited about coming to Tulsa and helping the program reach that next phase.
